Artisanal Small-Batch Brewing: 65 Easy Homemade Wines, Beers, Meads and Ciders

Description

This new collection of brewing recipes brings an exciting and healthful twist to home brewing by infusing herbs and other healing ingredients into the brews. Herbalism has gained popularity over the past couple years, as more people seek a holistic approach to health and wellness. This book builds off that trend in a fun, unique way with Amber Shehan's recipes made from commonly found herbs, wildflowers, fruits and other plants. Readers will love adding the healing benefits of herbs to their drinks to support their natural and holistic lifestyles. Recharge at the end of a long day with a soothing glass of Rose Hip & Elderberry Wine, or sip a refreshing glass of Blackberry Cider on a sunshiny afternoon. Choose between the indulgent Dandelion Root Chocolate Stout, the light, floral Elderflower Saison, or the classic Chamomile Pale Ale. Amber specially designed her recipes to make a single one-gallon batch of each drink, so readers can sample each of these thirst-quenching beverages guilt- (and waste-) free. Holistic healing has never tasted so good or been so much fun! The book will contain 65 recipes and 65 styled photos, plus accompanying process shots.
